A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie that is not an arthouse film. In its original usage, during the
Golden Age of Hollywood, the term more precisely identified a film intended for distribution as the less-pub
licized, bottom half of a
double feature. Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features
largely ceased by the end of the 1950s, the term B movie
continued to be used in the broader sense it maintains today. In its postGolden Age usage, there is ambigui
ty on both sides of the definition: on the one hand, the primary interest of many inexpensive
exploitation films is prurient; on the other, many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingen
uity.
In either usage, most B movies represent a particular genrethe
Western was a Golden Age B movie staple, while low-budget science-fiction and
horror films became more popular in the 1950s. Early B movies were often part of series in which the star
repeatedly played the same character. Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired wit
h, many had running times of 70 minutes or less. The term connoted a general perception that B movies were
inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners; individual B films were often ignored by critics.
Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple
sequels, but series are less common. As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased, so did t
hat of B pictures. In its current usage, the term has somewhat contradictory connotations: it may signal an o
pinion that a certain movie is (a) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or (b) a lively, energetic fi
lm uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of put
atively
"serious"
independent
film. The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted, mainstream films with
exploitation-style content, usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie.
From their beginnings to the present day, B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up
in the profession and others whose careers are waning. Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and
Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies. They are where actors such as John Wayne and
Jack Nicholson first became established, and they have provided work for former A movie actors, such as
